Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Weeks Away

T. Belman. Lately, I have been thinking that the reason Israel is talking so much about attacking Iran (which is not her style) is because Biden asked it to in order to push Iran towards negotiations.

Blinken warns: U.S. close to giving up on Iran deal

U.S. Secretary of State Blinken says the nuclear deal was in peril of getting nixed due to Iran’s repeated infractions.

  • Apparently desperate to revive the nuclear pact, the Biden administration at once began appeasing the ruling clerics of Iran.
  • From the perspective of Iran’s mullahs, Biden’s desperate efforts to resurrect the nuclear deal manifested his weak leadership and therefore a delectable opportunity for Tehran to buy time, get more concessions, advance its nuclear program and become a nuclear state.
  • Notwithstanding all these policies of incentives and appeasements, Iran’s mullahs continued to make excuses seemingly to drag out the nuclear talks. One of the latest overtures was that the world powers ought to wait until Iran’s newly elected president, Ebrahim Raisi, took office before resuming the nuclear talks.
  • By now, Raisi has been president of Iran for more than a month but there has not been the slightest effort by the Islamic Republic to restart any talks; in fact, all the while, the regime appears to have accelerated its enrichment of uranium to weapons-grade.
  • At the moment, the Iranian regime is reportedly 8-10 weeks away from obtaining the weapons-grade materials necessary for a nuclear weapon.

Since the Biden administration assumed office, the nuclear talks with Iran have gone nowhere. Six rounds of negotiations have been concluded with no results.

  2. I believe Gantz said 4 or 5 weeks ago, just prior to a DC visit, that Iran was assessed to be 10 weeks from having enough fissile core for a weapon? If he was correct, and there is no reason to doubt the Israeli assessment, Iran is within a month of achieving its goal. Israel will get no help from Biden’s sock-puppet handlers. Israel being within the same CENTCOM AOR as Afghanistan should not provide Israel with anything close to assurance.
